'''King James''' is the funky ruler of the city of [[Rap Land]]. He is based on the late [[wikipedia:James Brown|James Brown]].
'''King James''' is the funky ruler of the city of [[Rap Land]].


In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[Bad Rap]]", King James is taken hostage in his own castle by [[Bowser|Rappin' Koopa]]. Rappin' Koopa places King James onto a giant turntable, where he will inevitably get stabbed with the giant record needle that goes along with it. However, King James is confident that the [[Flab Boys]] will rescue him and soon learns that Rappin' Koopa found them, along with [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] as they approach the castle.
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[Bad Rap]]", King James had been taken hostage in his own castle by [[Bowser|Rappin' Koopa]]. Rappin' Koopa had placed King James onto a giant turntable, where he would inevitably get stabbed with the giant record needle that went along with it. However, King James was confident that the [[Flab Boys]] would rescue him, and soon learned that Rappin' Koopa had spotted them, along with [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] as they approached the castle.


King James soon meets up with Princess Toadstool, who has unfortunately been captured by Rappin' Koopa. Rappin' Koopa turns on the record player, and leaves the King and Princess alone as the needle slowly lowers towards them. Thankfully, Toad manages to sneak in and turn off the record player, saving them.

After meeting up with the Mario Bros., King James declares that the only way to stop Rappin' Koopa is to shut off his power by pulling the Royal Plug of Rap Land's power supply. Mario eventually succeeds in pulling the enormous plug.

To counter Rappin' Koopa's attack, King James assists Princess Toadstool in blowing up several [[Albatoss]]es with exploding records (see [[Stereo Gun]]). Due to the Albatosses disappearance, the others are able to take out Rappin' Koopa and his [[Koopa Troopa]]s, freeing Rap Land from their reign.

When the Koopas flee from Rap Land, King James and the Flab Boys dance to the "[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!#Plumber Rap Part 2|Mario Rap]]." Honoring Mario, King James gives him a special crown and declares him number one in a rapping duel.
